Abstract

A communication system comprises at least a base station device and a terminal device. The terminal device transmits a demodulation reference signal associated with a physical channel, receives a configuration of comb of the demodulation reference signal, and transmits the demodulation reference signal mapped based on the configuration of comb. The base station device transmits a configuration of comb of a demodulation reference signal related to a physical channel.

Claims (21)

1. A terminal device comprising:

a transmitter configured to transmit a demodulation reference signal associated with a physical channel; and

a receiver configured to receive a configuration of comb of the demodulation reference signal;

wherein the demodulation reference signal is mapped based on the configuration of comb,

the demodulation reference signal is defined based on an orthogonal sequence and a cyclic shift,

a pattern of the orthogonal sequence and the cyclic shift is expanded in a case that the terminal device is configured with the comb of the demodulation reference signal,

the receiver is configured to receive a downlink control information format, and

a pattern of the comb, the cyclic shift, and the orthogonal sequence for each antenna port are determined based on a cyclic shift field in the downlink control information format in the case that the terminal device is configured with the comb of the demodulation reference signal.

2. A base station device comprising:

a transmitter configured to transmit a configuration of comb of a demodulation reference signal related to a physical channel and a configuration of an orthogonal sequence,

wherein the configuration of an orthogonal sequence is expanded based on the configuration of the comb and a cyclic shift,

the transmitter is configured to transmit a downlink control information format, and

a pattern of the comb, the cyclic shift, and the orthogonal sequence for each antenna port are determined based on a cyclic shift field in the downlink control information format.

3. A transmitting method in a terminal device comprising:

transmitting a demodulation reference signal associated with a physical channel; and

receiving a configuration of comb of the demodulation reference signal; and

receiving a downlink control information format,

wherein the demodulation reference signal is mapped based on the configuration of comb,

the demodulation reference signal is defined based on an orthogonal sequence and a cyclic shift,

a pattern of the orthogonal sequence and the cyclic shift is expanded in a case that the terminal device is configured with the comb of the demodulation reference signal, and

a pattern of the comb, the cyclic shift, and the orthogonal sequence for each antenna port are determined based on a cyclic shift field in the downlink control information format in the case that the terminal device is configured with the comb of the demodulation reference signal.
